Four seasons
Choose the right month for the right experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: March 2025
Winter
Stay on designated snow routes and review avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and avoid quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
In many valleys, late spring brings blossoms: steer clear of muddy margins to prevent trail widening, and start at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early to reach glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Amber forests and cooler mornings yield more tranquil hikes. Opt for quieter huts and stay on sturdy trails.
